Re: Another man down at Salford - Fages resigns : Fri Aug 07, 2015 6:05 pm  

So he was happy to take the coin in the first instance to suit himself, now he wants out he throws a paddy because the owner wants to get a decent fee for him...
Not seeing the problem other than Fages is behaving like a Fadge

"Holding players to their contracted position and not letting them leave cheaply before contract expiry"

I don't see any problem with that.

Regarding resigning - I assume Salford won't release his registration without recompense.

Depends. If Salford have breached Fages contract then he's a free agent and Salford can't do anything about it.

That's why professionally run clubs don't breach player's contracts.

According to Fage's representatives, this isn't about money and instead another breach of contract. I'm gonna guess it has something to do with Koukash allowing a transfer request, but then asking for a ridiculous fee so he couldn't leave anyway - and then not even playing him.

Not to sound dramatic but Koukash is holding players against their will at a club they don't want to be involved with anymore - it's very pathetic viewing and it does not bode well for Salford. Who would want to sign for them?

What is wrong with an owner wanting a return on his investment that he finds acceptable?

You sign a contract with the club, you don't sign a contract with the club as long as you are playing. If this was all the situation the Theo would be completely in the wrong.

The problem with Salford now is Koukash is like the boy who cried wolf - it's always somebody else's fault, he's never to blame.

So when all these stories come out about Salford, it's a natural reaction to assume the Doc has been an idiot again. I wouldn't bet against him being at fault on this too. There are too many rumours of mismanagement for them all to be lies

I'm struggling to think of any situation like either the Puletua, Locke or Fages case to happen to any club, never mind all 3 in the same season.

Let's face it. It's not those 3 players. Its the club that's the problem.

Hasn't a local solicitor claimed to have represented 30 Salford employees in recent months? And if the rumours about the ridiculously complicated system they've devised for paying bonuses and appearance fees are true, it's no surprise that so many players are heading for the exit with a claim for breach of contract.

It is This Fella local to Leeds who has apparently represented at least 20 former club employees over the past 30 months on their exit from the club.( dated 18th June ( If what Neil Barker writes is to be believed ) It seems the players who have left,represented by Cramer,were of the previous Wilkinson regime and those signed when Noble was in charge - notwithstanding Locke arrived after Iestyn Harris was appointed head coach. Strangely,no court proceedings or findings have resulted in Dr Koukash being referred to,or deemed as some kind of ogre.Surprising with the number of players leaving/wanting to leave. I was of the opinion the CEO and head coach sort out the contracts. Also,Theo Fages was given a 5 yrs contract by the Wilkinson regime a matter of weeks prior to their financial circumstances being described in a church local to Salford;in Pendleton. In similar circumstances to the one given to Whitehead at Bradford - prior to their first announced financial mess in 2012 or 13.
